Interesting. I wonder how many revisions he had to make before
that beige piece of writing was complete! [emoji4]

‘If I am looking for positives, what they have done is stuck to
a plan, stuck to the way Steve Borthwick and the coaches believe
will win Test matches.’
Well fine. After all, if they BELIEVE hard enough maybe it will
come true. Or maybe they will keep on getting stuffed.
‘ I think they’ve conceded 30 tries in nine matches. That’s
disappointing from the defence coach Kevin Sinfield’s point of
view but I’d imagine that will improve.’
Yes imagination is probably the only thing they have going for
them. Let’s imagine we will improve. Anywhere else, Sinfield
would have been given the order of the boot. If only there had
been another proven defensive coach from RL that might have been
better… given how much money the RFU have spaffed up the wall on
coaches it beggars belief that they wouldn’t afford Edwards.
Thank heavens we are in the Shield side of the draw.

Sinfield was rubbish as a League coach so it's baffling how he's
landed this job given his union inexperience.

Me thinks Evans is simply trying to tout his services back to
the RFU hence the positive slant.
Hard to beat?? We’ve lost 6/9 games under SB and lost fairly
comprehensively in the others, and shouldn’t have beaten Wales
at Hq. Not sure what Nev is smoking

If you read the article it's clear what he's trying to say. And
he doesn't claim England ARE hard to beat.

Oh Jammy don't let reading the actual article get in the way of
a good cudgel.
